He would like to propose a “computer cartography” project. "I think aerial and area photographs (shot by the Times and MCO (perhaps among others) could be digitized and made into an “interactive map” of Fountain Hills. The title of the map might be “Fountain Hills, the first 50 years.” It would give an overview through time, of how this town was developed. Showing new roads, homes, commercial, educational, and recreational development through the years of roughly 1971 — 2021 (present). I’m pretty sure we would need to collect at least a few hundred different photographs for a computer guru to be able to get that work done."
